Become an explorer

and discover the Universe above

We are explorers

Sybilla Technologies is a company dedicated to providing industry standards' based IT solutions for scientific
research and development that can also be applied in the general public domain

Scientific approach

Detailed analysis of the subject under scrutiny allows us to address the issue and find the right solution

Modern design

Listening to the needs of our clients together with the skill to clearly present complex data and data-flows makes the UX
of our tools easy and fun

Elegant engineering

Constantly broadening and gaining new competence in the fields of our expertise equips us with the right set of tools and
technologies to solve our clients' problems

Skills and Experience

Services we provide

We focus on the fields of observational astronomy, astrophysics and psychology,
and utilize the contemporary approach, modern software architecture,
and techniques to address the requirements and optimize the results

Creative design

From our experience the problems we are being given to solve require combining expertise in many fields

Logistics consulting

Having been involved in deployment of observatories on three continents we help with setting up new ones

Easy customization

We carefully design our solutions to evolve with the requirements

Professional code

Code is the Deux ex Machina. And because of that at Sybilla Technologies the aim behind the code must go hand in hand with
its quality.

Support

We feel responsible for our solutions and are always open to make them even better

Web design

The Internet has become much more than just a content presentation platform and our solutions embrace that

Other services

Building on top of our expertise we constantly explore new territories to address new problems. Because
it's interesting.

Cloud computing

We help to analyse the potential of using CC environment for high-volume data together with the workflows to automate the
overall processes of knowledge extraction

Data presentation

Gathering volumes of data in science is less of a problem now than it was before — We help to visualize it to show
meaningful information

Drivers' implementation

We implement ASCOM- and AOIN-compliant drivers for autonomous observatories

Autonomous observatories

Autonomy is measured on a sliding scale from the direct human operation at the low end to what is known as „adaptive” at
the high end

01

Direct operation

Direct human operation or remote operation is having someone behind a computer control all the observatory’s operations from
the control room which is a few meters or a thousands of kilometres away

02

Assisted operation

Human-assisted is when the observer is responsible for the start and end procedures (calibration, cooling instruments, opening
the dome and so on), but can let the equipment observe itself while during the night in normal
conditions

03

Human delegation

In human delegation, the observer just has to instruct the observatory to start and finish observations and give it observing
plan to execute

04

Human-supervised

In human-supervised, the operator is no longer really an observer, but just monitors what information observatory sends back.
Mitigation of minor errors requires human assistance. Major problems require expertise and qualified
personnel

05

Mixed-initiative

In mixed-initiative, the human might give a robotic observatory an observing plan to complete or even loosely told to be
„independent” in choosing targets from predefined list and only report back when it finishes. System
can mitigate minor failures on itself and major failures by notifying the operator about the problem
and potential options that can be executed to recover.

06

Autonomous

In fully autonomous mode, the system decides on its own what to observe and how to do it. It also mitigates more serious
faults like hard drive failure or inconsistent sensor data.

07

Adaptive

Finally, an observatory is adaptive when it can learn. It can update or change what it should search out, even evolving to
gather information in new ways. It can reconfigure its observing configuration and schemas to optimise
the data quality and rate.

Student Internships
in Space Sector

For IT, Engineering and Astronomy students

At Sybilla Technologies we develop tools for space-traffic operators and astronomers, from automatic data acquistion to data
analysis, using global networks of robotic observatories and cloud services.

We offer student internships to work on projects focused on solving problems of growing space traffic and space surveillance,
using latest IT technologies.
